Security review

Written by gpt-4o-mini from 16 checks over the crawl

The website www.mccollege.ca lacks critical security headers that protect against common vulnerabilities, making it more susceptible to attacks. Immediate implementation of HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options is necessary to enhance security, along with monitoring third-party scripts.

  • 0 high
  • 3 medium
  • 1 low
  • 0 info
  1. 1

    Missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)Medium

    Why it matters: Without HSTS, users can be intercepted on initial requests if they type the address without HTTPS.

    Fix: Add the header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains.

    Evidence: HTTP Strict Transport Security

  2. 2

    Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)Medium

    Why it matters: Lack of CSP allows any scripts/styles to load from any source, increasing risk of XSS attacks.

    Fix: Add the header: Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self';

    Evidence: Content Security Policy

  3. 3

    Missing X-Frame-Options HeaderMedium

    Why it matters: Absence of clickjacking protection allows pages to be embedded in frames on malicious sites.

    Fix: Add the header: X-Frame-Options: DENY.

    Evidence: Clickjacking protection

  4. 4

    Third-Party Scripts without Subresource Integrity (SRI)Low

    Why it matters: Scripts from an external domain may be compromised, affecting site integrity.

    Fix: Implement Subresource Integrity for external scripts or set a restrictive CSP.

    Evidence: Third-party scripts
